That link gives me an error message.

Is it correct??

It redirects me to the main European page of Nokia.

this 3250 is one very good design. I am quite surprise that Nokia came out with this twistable keypad which I think is very functional (one of the best). This is one is what I called innovation.



btw: this one is a Series60 smartphone with 2MP camera. Specs wise is top-notch as expected from a smartphone. Camera lens is located at the side of twistable keypad (like N90).

Orange nice find!!!

This looks like a cheap alternative to the N91 >> for those of us that dont particularly need 3G nor even have it available with our networks. Also For those of us that need a reasonably priced cheap upgrade or replacement to our existing S60 phones!!

3.5mm headset Jack sweet
No 850Mhz for North America (only 1900Mhz capable) forgiven
MiniSD Slot sweet (but is it hot swappable??)
Thickness, I dont mind .>> coming from a 6620 its roughly the same thickness!

I was also wondering about whether one could hot swop... Maybe this afternoon's press conference will shed more light. For now, it certainly looks good... Priced at euro350 before taxes and/or subsidies... Not too shabby...

19.8mm thick is rather thin in fact.

Not like NEC does it But quite decent.
By comparison, W800 is 20.5mm thick

I have to admit that the specs of this phone are good, however personnaly I dont like the design.

The twistable keypad is useful but the overall styling is awful!

The colours hardly brighten up your day do they!

Why can't the phone be styled individually to set it apart from others?

Styling seems to be applied that makes it look like more brick-like, with hardly any curves. I think the styling is drab and dowdy. Is it a bad attempt at retro?

@Super G

Do you really think 0.7mm deserves a mention

If it had been 0.7mm thicker than the w800 i'm positive it'd've been mentioned innumerable times by the hair-splitters. Be that as it may, it's a smartphone, blockish appearance notwithstanding. Nuff said.

No, the 0.7mm are not worth a mention or arguing about. That was not my intention. I just wanted to put a point of reference here, before one starts to complain about its thickness In short, it's just normal.

Anyway, I think it looks very UGLY, and the colors are awful.

@super G

Do you think Nokia are going down the wrong path too.

I think the handsets are over styled with that Nokia-esque look, a bit too much.

I believe that the design is particualrly clever and the styling is far better than any SE have so far managed to think up. No matter how much i love my p910i it doesnt change the fact that its a pretty ugly piece of kit. The colour scheme is far from exciting, but not everyone likes the obcene look of the w800, or the boring appearance of the s700.
